Hey folks, Rich here, thanks for checking out my page. Just to let you know a little about myself. I was born In Chicago Ill and around the age of 19 was taught tattooing by the late great Tattoo Tom Berkes at the “Imperial World of Underground Tattooing” in Cicero Ill. He instilled in me, pride in work, a sense of honesty, fairness in business and to always stand behind your product. In those years of being 20-21 I started visiting down here in North Carolina with a friend that had been in the Marine Corps and of course, at that young age our money run out before our vacation, so, I would fill in over at “The Indian’s Tattoo Emporium” for extra cash to get us home. Eventually I was offered a full time position there and moved down here to work it full time in at age 22 in Sept of 1989. In February of 1992 I opened the doors here at “Fantasy Tattoo Studio and have been tattooing and piercing right here in this very location ever since. I hope everyone reading will find your way in here at least to check us out sometime and perhaps we can make a deal…. Thanks all, Rich
